I know the instructions say to change the lancet every time, and you're welcome to do so of course.I duly ordered 100 more strips assuming incorrectly that they would come with 100
lancets, wrong so need to order a few more of those.
But in real life, most people change their lancets far less often. Once a day, once a week, or like myself, about 3 times a year, so I'm happy those lancets don't come with the teststrips. If they did, I would have to find room for about 15,000 unused lancets with my close to 8 years of diabetes...
There are even plenty of memes about (not) changing lancets!
